Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris, LIANNE

A
New Zealand Bred standard dwarf iris from the '70's. Standards
and falls are are a clean lime-wash apricot colouring with darker
apricot brown veins around the beard which spill towards the falls .
Great increase, and good health. If you can find it , buy it!! Lucy
Delany contributed hugely to New Zealand's Iris breeding History
registering 20 irises mainly dwarfs and median irises, and her amazing
navy blue coloured siberian iris 'Moon Moth' is an absolute stand-out!.

The Iris Yearbook (BIS), 1974, Modern Trends in Dwarfs,page 93, Barbara B. Whitehouse.
The "ray" pattern is similar to the halo pattern but consists of longer
veined like streaks of darker or contrasting colours spreading out over
the falls around the beard and covering a larger area than does the
halo, which is seldom no more than ¾ to ⅜ inch in length. Several very nice irises show this pattern..............................'Lianne' (Lucy Delany '73) light, gold-apricot with brown ray pattern.

The Iris Yearbook (BIS), 1983,Dwarf bearded Iris from New Zealand, page 97, C.E. C. Bartlett.
In the summer of 1981 I received ten rhizomes of some dwarf bearded irises from New ZealandLianne (Lucy Delany '72) Sdlg X Orange Blaze. S.D.B. A most
attractive little iris at the lower end of the S.D.B.range. Standards
pale apricot gold, falls same with veined halo of brown around the white
tipped orange beards. A good grower and increaser and the colour is
rather unusual. Its quality is confirmed by it having received 4th place in the Vienna Trails in 1979.

WELCOME

HERITAGE IRISES

INDEPENDENT ALWAYS

Welcome to Heritage Irises, and
do make yourself at home. The blog shares the magic of Irises and
will feature some very special New Zealand raised varieties
including the brilliance of our very own Jean Stevens (1900-1967).
Each and every iris growing in New Zealand are a part of our Iris
Heritage and will all become historic or heirloom irises one day so
why not start early and give them all a good home! Writing and
researching about heirloom irises is just a hobby and the blog is my
diary notes and observations of the Irises I grow and like at
home.I'm really enjoying myself, although blogging is a lot like a
virus that invades the mind and body and you can't rid yourself of
it, in the nicest possibly way of course. Click on any photo to view

A 10 year old 5.1 mega pixel Fuji Finepix S5600 digital camera has been used exclusively for all photos able to be viewed on the blog that are accredited to Iris Hunter. Why such an old camera you may ask? Well its an easy camera to work with, but more importantly it reinforces my view that you don't have to invest thousands of dollars in equipment to produce a reasonably swish Blog
